What might happen If Another World War was to Start

Well this is going to just be about me giving my take on this subject so if you want a real story or article about this then just stop now it'll be a little waste of time.
Well everyone knows about the past two world wars that accorded in the past that caused major deaths and economic collapse. Each war left it's mark on the world and in people's hearts in some way, shape, or form. Now we all know the devastation of them, but what will happen if we had another world war now? In the past destructive weapons like the atom bombs were used to cause major destruction so whats stopping them from being used now? The main two countries that have the most nuclear missiles in the world is the U.S. and Russia. Of course there are other countries that have these global threats such as the United Kingdom and China, but Russia and America make up the majority of the worlds nuclear weapons. On top of that through the use of technology (of course) we made things like drones. If you don't know what those are then you most not have heard about the Star War series then either because the two basically go hand and hand. Drones are weapons capable of mass destruction without the need of man (no man or women needs to be in them for them to work). America is one known country to have used these weapons and in my opinion they are a good alternative so we don't got to send our own troops down in battle, but they have to be put in the right hands and lets face in the government there are always one person or a secret group of people who some how get their hands on these machines and then use them for their own dirty needs. Another crazy invention that has been made or is being made is exoskeletons. They are suit like things that boost the basic human functions like running, jumping, fighting, and other things like that. So you  could basically have a real life Captain America (except with the shield of course). Now I'm sure there are tons and tons of other weapons in the world the countries or secret groups are hiding up their sleeves that we don't know about. Its just true. If your not in that loop then you'll never know unless they mess up and do something stupid which hardly ever happen.
Another thing that is of concern is how long the war might take. The past World Wars were pretty long (World War One lasted four years and World War Two lasted for like 6 years). This one might be a couple years or a couple minutes I don't know and no one really knows themselves.
To me the next world war is far from happening, but then again I'm not someone who is in any type of power  or have real solid information to persuade you. If anything I hope it doesn't happen, but based on our track record war is in our nature and is bound to happen eventually weather we like it or not. It is something that we are going to have to face in the future and it will be interesting to see how it plays out, but I hope to be long gone by that time. There are growing pains like North Korea, but right now they are not really any danger to us, but the rest of the world maybe. So in the mean time I hope to live life and not have to experience something like this because I don't want to one see or hear of someone who died. Also because I don't want to go broke, I mean our economy is finally getting better and a war let alone another world war is like a black hole in my pockets (money goes in and never comes back out).
My reasoning behind doing this is because I found it a little interesting to talk about and I wanted to share my view point about it. If you made it this far or even took the time to actually read this last part what do you think might happen?

What Happened to Cartoons?

  Well have you ever wondered what happened to the old cartoon shows you used to watch when you were a kid and found it funny and now when you look back at it they just look stupid and boring? A good example of this would be SpongeBob; a cartoon in which everyone has seen some point in time. This cartoon for me was a lot of my childhood. I liked SpongeBob and Patrick because they were fun an childish so I actually felt a connection with them, but I hated Squidward because he was basically boring and lame (an adult). Now the show did have some not pg  and a little strange things like

and these I found funny when I was a child, but looking back on it I still kind of think it is a little funny, but not as funny as it once was. Another show that used to be every adults favorite cartoon when they were a kid was Tom and Jerry. That show was pretty cool to see when I was a child and even now (kinda). I remember waking up early in the morning to watch old episodes of it on cartoon network and just waiting to see how Jerry gets Tom into trouble and how much the writers can show them getting beaten up by each other. I enjoyed watching pianos fall on top of their heads and watching how many times their body gets distorted.

This show still holds up and will continue to be one of the best cartoons in history. Then there are some cartoons that just look and sound stupid like Uncle Grandpa. The one time I watched this show is when my younger cousin came over. The show has a big headed "thing" that keeps saying good morning and sounds like he has down syndrome. The real problem to me is not the fact that has down syndrome, but the fact that they put him in display and make him do stupid things for kids to laugh. This makes me feel like the people who made him just for cheap laughs at the expense of people who had down syndrome. Of course there could be other reasons they made him that way, but I mean common... you watch the show and you would clearly see what I'm talking about. Another gripe I have with this show is that the main character is called uncle grandpa... UNCLE GRANDPA. This to me is just plan weird and not funny at all. If you really don't see the problem with that then let me explain a little better. He has down syndrome because he was born through incest and there feeding this to kids. This show to me is just a bad idea and I really don't expect it to be on the air for long, but there have been other shows that many people think is horrible but lasted a fairly long time.

This brings me to my main point which is either we got older and the things that are funny to us as a child may not be funny to us now or the shows are just being poorly written and drawn. Also we seem to be in a more pg era of television were all the violence and "bad words" are being taken out or not allowed to be out on air. The shows that we once watched like Samurai Jack, Code name Kids Next Door, Hat Arnold, Cat Dog, and even older shows like Tom and Jerry seem to be as good as it gets in terms of cartoons. There are new cartoon shows that seem to be doing pretty good like Regular Show and Adventure Time. In Regular Show it is anything but that. The show even tried putting a twist on the so called rule of no cursing when the two main characters said something like" what the h" and" how are we going to fix this s?" ( might not be exactly the way they said it, but you get the point) The characters also say other things and the people who draw the characters draw them in a certain way to make teenagers and adults laugh as well while still leaving the kids unaware of what we are noticing. The other show Adventure Time takes seems to take place in a post apocalyptic world were everything seems to be distorted like the main princess who is made out of bubble gum and rules a kingdom where candy people live.


 So like I said before I don't really watch television all that often anymore so you may be a better judge then I am so I leave you with these questions
What cartoons do you like?
Do you even still watch cartoons? If not why?

Regents week Approching

  Well every high school student is getting a little stressed out about the fact that the regents are close and then there are Some who not really worried about the regents. If your like me then you are dreading the fact that the grade you get on that stupid test will be on your transcript that every college is you going to see. Its a horrid feeling that you have right now that I have to....
  This year I'm going to be taking three regents geometry, chemistry, and global. See I'm not worried about the global regents because global for me is easy, but I am worried about the geometry one and nervous about the chemistry one. In geometry I know I can pass or at least come close passing it just all depends on what questions they ask me, but in chemistry I'm thinking its going to be certain death. I wouldn't normally worried about things like this, but one day I was just home alone not doing anything and didn't feel like going outside so I just thought about my life. I thought about what I might want to do in the future and nothing really came to mind except for the fact that I don't want to do anything in math because I hate math. I also thought about what college I want to go to or even if I want to go to college, which I do. So then I thought about what colleges look for and that is good grades, what extra activities I did, and if I had some type of job (not to sure about that). I know I do good in class unless I slack off so I'm not to worried about that, I can do extra things later on in life like maybe my Junior or senor year so the only thing left to worry about is the regents grade. Now so far I did good at Living Environment, but algebra I barely got by and that's another reason I'm worried about the geometry test. Chemistry I'm a little nervous about, but most of the answers are in the reference table so.... ya most of my efforts are going into actually studying for the geometry regents instead of just winging it which if this was last year I probably would of done. So if your like me your just a mess when it comes to the regents like me I feel for you, but if your one of those kids who believe that the regents are just a formality...I really envy you right now.
 
If you thought that this was for advice well then I don't know what to tell you......-_-

IS FACEBOOK NEAR DEATH?


The king of social media seems to be near the end of his rain. Kids of all ages used this social media device and in fact a lot still are, but with the raise of things such as Twitter and other devices Facebook seems to find itself in a jam. There are of course numerous other devices out there before and Facebook has been on top of them all, but as more adults start using it less kids began to use it. There has also been kids who deactivated their account because they find it boring. Twitter has got more and more people signing up. If the kids stop using the device and the parents or guardians see this they might deactivate their account as well. The device is dead or buried in most teenagers eyes. 
  So in my opinion Facebook might have ran it cycle unless the people who run the site do something. The website in most teenagers eyes has been dying out in the past year or two. There are some teenagers who even said that it seemed dead three years ago... So with Twitter and other social media devices take off Facebook has become more and more irrelevant. Now we just got to wait and see unless you already deactivated your account and made up your mind not reactivate it well then you'll just have to hear about it.

Problems With Sryia

  Syria is located in the middle east and the major religion there would be the Sunni Muslims which make up around 74% of their population. Right now things in Syria has took a turn for the worse recently and has even been going through genocide. The people in Syria are being killed basically even hour of ever day and there seems to be no end to the problem.

  Syria is also having to fight the problem of mutiny. Their government is basically collapsing in on itself and is making recovery even harder for them. Another big problem they are having is terrorists. Regular civilians who don't know whats going on or who's side to pick and defend are either being paid or threatened to do public attacks against the Syrian government. 

 Syria a country in need, but some countries do not want to get involved and help because they see it as a dead end or they just want to focus on themselves and their own people. The Syrian people look at them as just another enemy or just another person to blame, but could you really blame the other countries. I mean Syria is going through a civil war wills fighting a whole bunch of other things like a corrupted government that seem to be helpless right now. If they don't know whats going on then how in the world do they expect another country to try and take over and help? Countries like American is trying to do something, but it doesn't really look like that is enough help. Another country that tried to do something was Russia who tried to form a truce with Assad and have even convince them to allow the UN inspectors to come in. They helped Syrian government by giving them weapons, but weapons are the things that really got them in this mess. The uprising also started because the people don't like Assad and helping him might make the people turn down help from outside countries.
  Syria is going through a civil war that might tear the country inside out. The citizens there are revolting against the government and don't want to join any terrorist group. There are some that don't even trust their neighbors.
  The problem is series and I'm way to over my head to figure out a real solution to this problem. If I lived in this chaos then I'll probably be the first one to either try to run or get shot because I'm not quite sure how to live in a situation like this one. I'm just glad I'm here and not there.
